If there aren't enough people to do the work anymore, that doesn't mean you have to become two employees. Do your job at a sustainable pace and let management deal with the newly created, layoffs-related staffing problem.

that's a really good post.
If you work more than 40 hrs/week your a looser!
I wouldn't say that. I mean, don't let them FORCE you to, but if you could use the OT to pay down a bill or better yet SAVE more, that can help you in the long run for when it's your turn to get laid off or the company collapses and folds.
Only work extra hours you want, on YOUR terms.
Can confirm. No long hours or weekend work was really that impactful and was never fully recognized and rewarded. Value your time and that of your family! Push back.
Guys Health and Family first! Do not work more than 40 hrs/week period!

No longer should you be a YES person. Push back hard. Remember they will fire you regardless and you are worth more to yourself than to the fools with titles
Before your body is cold your work will be delegated to survivors or a new hire request will be posted. Your life has value to you, your family and your friends. To Oracle you are a expense line, nothing more. I know many who worked 10 hours a day for more money, promotion and got booted in layoffs. All they did is waste their time and ruin their health. Any minor monetary benefit they got is now being used to treat their sickness from over work. Live your life and spend your time wisely. Time is the only currency you cannot earn. Once spent it is done forever.
